Vegan Bites: Bento Bears
With Asia's staple being rice and Japan's adorable affinity for playing with your food, we decided it was time for Bento Boxes. My kids love when I make these, but they are so tedious and they eat them faster than I can design them. My compromise was to make them together.
Prepare a plate with loads of veggies and bits good for detailing.
Offer sheets of nori wrap and scissors.(pre-cut shapes for the extra wee.)
Cook sticky rice (or blend standard cooked rice to make it take form.)
Let the imaginations run wild and permit playing with food.
